Thorium Plants – Draft

generates electricity and thermal energy for manufacturing consumer products.

Modular Thorium Conversion Plants (MTCP) are one three new generations of clean power and process plants that will provide seventy percent of the world’s energy needs. The clean energy comes from the conversion of matter into energy according to the mass times the speed of light squared or Einstein’s equation: E = mc². The technology is based upon decades of research and development Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Twenty manufacturing facilities are needed to assemble16,000 Modular Thorium Conversion power and process plants like Boeing assemble airplanes. Each manufacturing facility will assembly one Modular Thorium Conversion plant per week or fifty per years. Since each plants is sold for $1 billion, the facility’s annual revenue are estimated at $50 billion.

Modular Thorium Conversion power plants will generate electricity for people’s homes, businesses, and communities. Each power plant generates 10 billion kilowatt hour of electricity. At ten cents per kilowatt hour, each power plant’s annual revenues are $1 billion.

Modular Thorium Conversion process plants manufacture trillions of dollars of industrial, commercial, and consumer products from coal, oil, biomass and natural gas rather than burning them and destroying the World’s environment.

Modular Thorium Conversion Plants can supply the world energy need for thousands of years and are similar to Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors without the gold plating. Fuel is recycled on site and can convert the 100,000 metric tons of spent fuel stored at Light Water Reactors into energy and save consumers an estimated $1 trillion. The plants were developed and successfully operated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. MTCP and are over 99 percent versus 3 percent for light water nuclear uranium reactors.

The following are comparisons among Carbon, Green and Clean Energy Sources.

Rare Earth Elements from mining Thorium are used to manufacture electronic components for the World’s multi-trillion-dollar telecommunication and electronic markets.

Coal power plants use 30 million times more material than Modular Thorium Conversion and could supply fuel for 12 Thorium/ Uranium power plants.

Uses one ton of thorium fuel to generates 10 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, with 170 kilograms of waste that need to be stored for 300 years. Light Water Reactor creates 35,ooo kilograms of spent fuel, which needs to be stored for millions years.

Each 2,400 megawatt SMTP Plants convert 400 grams (two rolls of nickels) to produce 20 billion-kilowatts hours of thermal energy or 10 billion-kilowatt hours of electricity. At ten cents per kilowatt hour, the annual revenue is $1 billion.

Each 250 megawatt module converts 40 grams and generate 2 billion-kilowatt hours of thermal energy or one billion-kilowatt hours of electricity. The Thorium Plants generation capability can be incrementally increase or decreased by one billion kilowatt hours.

Electrical generation efficiency is 50 percent compared to average 30 percent for today’s power plants or increase of sixty-seven percent. Thorium can supply the world energy need for thousands of years.

The United States should take the lead by building the first Thorium Manufacturing Plant, which assemble on plant per week or 50 per year. The manufacturing facility also has 125 Megawatt SMTP to supply electricity and show the public how the plants operate.

After demonstrating and operating the manufacture facility, other major countries replicate the manufacturing facilities and assemble thousand of plants for manufacturing produces products and generation electricity.
